There's been a few of these types of posts floating around lately! A friend (who is not on Discord and who recently joined steemit) and I were wondering if the the ability to self-vote should just be completely removed, though neither of us know why it was there to begin with and if it might still be needed for something. But that was our really simplistic fix for the problem XD

That would be an interesting fix. I don't think it should be necessary, as it is nice that you can at least give yourself a little boost. I guess it's the only real way to award yourself for owning and holding a large stake.
Can't really take that away.
But the problem comes with abuse.
This was some very interesting statistics to come across!

Yeh I don't have a problem with self-upvoting really, I think I told someone else that you should probably get curation rewards from it too (though I don't know how well that works as there seems to be a time to vote to spread rewards one way or the other but I've only read this and not attempted to measure it because that would do my head in).
Yeh "interesting" is one way to describe those stats o_O
